1. PURPOSE

This method statement covers on site installation of pre-fabricated ductwork systems

manufactured from hot dipped galvanized steel sheet to S.M.A.C.N.A.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

2.1 This method statement is to define the method to be used to ensure that
prefabricated ducting, bracketing, and in line equipment installation and final
connections and workmanship are correct and acceptable, and conforming to the
contract documents and General Specifications

2.2 Material to be submitted for review by the Client- see latest Revision of the
Material Procurement Schedule.

3. RESPONSIBLE PERSONNEL

3.1 Construction Manager

3.2 Mechanical Superintendent.
3.3 Warehouse Controller
3.4 Q.C. Controller

4. METHOD - PRE-INSTALLATION

4.1 All materials, drawings and other documentation relevant to a particular section
of works will be checked by the Construction Department prior to the commence
of work ensuring that these are of the correct type as reviewed by the EMC.

4.2 Before commencing any construction works, pre-inspections will be carried out
on all materials prior to them leaving the storage area.

4.3 Prior to the commencement of any construction works, areas and access will be
inspected by the Construction Team to ensure that they are in a suitable condition
for construction works to commence. EMC will be invited to attend at this
inspection, at his discretion.

5. METHOD INSTALLATION - INTERNAL & ACOUSTIC LINING

5.1 Mechanical Superintendent will instruct tradesmen regarding the execution of the
works and will distribute all necessary approved construction drawings of the
latest revision. The supervisor will also check that tools and equipment available
are in compliance with the contract requirements.

5.2 Supervisor will requisition approved materials for the specific installation to be
carried out and adhere to the following guide lines for insulation and acoustic
lining.

5.3 On receiving the approved materials, checks will be made by the Construction
Supervisor to ensure that slabs are free from damage and ingress of moisture.

5.4 Care will be taken in the preparation of the undersurface before any adhesive is
applied - ductwork is to be clean and free from moisture.

5.5 For acoustic lining, the lining will be secured using 100% coverage of adhesive,
and fixed using mechanical fasteners. Fasteners will be at 400mm centers and
not more than 50mm from the edges of the lining.

5.6 Ductwork acoustic linings will be William’s CFC free punf. foam and will be
applied with insulation adhesive and metallic fasteners as item 5.5 Site
Supervisor or workshop supervisor will ensure that seams and joints are
thoroughly sealed to eliminate possible fiber entertainment in the duct due to air
velocities, and provide continuous sheet metal edge protectors at entering and
leaving edges of lined duct section.

5.7 Sectional ductwork will be joined together after internal insulation or acoustic
lining - Longtitudal seams shall be joined by means of the Pittsburgh lock system
and traverse by mating flanges spot welded to ductwork.

5.8 Contractors Drawings will clearly indicate which sections of prefabricated

ductwork are to be installed within one meter of electric heaters, and fire
dampers. If these sections are internally lined they will be sheathed with sheath
metal to form a “double skin” in accordance with the contract document.

5.9 Acoustic lining associated with exhaust ductwork from kitchens services, food
preparation areas and similar areas shall be sealed with a impervious material
such as polyethylene telephthalate or similar in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.

6. METHOD INSULATION - EXTERNALLY INSULATED DUCT

6.1 Ductwork that is to be externally lagged will be identified on the approved

contractors drawings and issued to the on site supervisor.

6.2 Surface areas of ductwork will be inspected to ensure that they are not wet or
damp.

6.3 An independent section of insulation will be applied to each adjacent section of

the ducting, ensuring corners have adequate backing foil with a minimum 75mm
overlap to achieve an acceptable vapour barrier.

6.4 Joints will then be sealed with 150mm wide adhesive tape horizontally and
vertical.

6.5 Care shall be taken during the installation of the insulation that adhesive is
applied with 150mm brush widths at 300mm intervals. Insulation will be fixed
with pins clips to prevent sagging, and tie cords or bands may be used at 900mm
centers until adhesive sets.
6.6 Special care will be taken that perforations cause by pins and or clips or similar
are correctly vapor sealed.
6.7 Supervisor to ensure that where insulation passes through a fire barrier sleeve all
gaps are caulked with approved fire resistant material.

6.8 Flexible connections will be wrapped with insulation overlapped and secured to
ductwork shoes and plenums by the use of metal bands.

6.9 High density fiber glass board complete with vapor barrier ‘or’ equivalent
material shall be used on bracket/hangers for the external insulated ductwork.
Supervisor to ensure that all completed insulation works referred to in this method
statement will look neat and tidy and that there is adequate spacing to allow access for
dampers and in line equipment operation and ease of maintenance.
The Supervisor in charge and the QC officer shall continuously monitor the activities
(by recording defects or snags into his In House Process Inspection List) to ensure that
all components indicated on the approved drawings have been installed and that the
installation is in accordance with the contract requirements and manufacturers
recommendation.

All completed installation works equipment will be protected to avoid damage until
final completion/handover in accordance with the approved procedure.

7. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
